answer - 44

I've messaged them on facebook as none of the answers appear to be correct. According to their website
hotels range in size from just 11 rooms at Airds in Scotland to over 140 at Luton Hoo so the average would be 75.5 which is not an option. I'll keep an eye on it to see if it changes but if anyone else sees it change please PM me so I can edit my OP

    What is the average number of bedrooms to be found in Pride of Britain’s member hotels

    Mean average is most commonly used and you would need to know the number of bedrooms in each hotel, total them then divide by the number of hotels to get that figure not just highest and lowest
  • OK...so according to their directory (near the back) the total no of rooms (which I've just added up) across all of their hotels is 2,243. There are 48 hotels listed in the directory... 2,243 divided by 48 = 47, which still isn't one of the answers on the competition page! Unless my maths has gone wrong...

    You math (rounded) is correct, the directory is just a replica of the printed one so I am assuming there have been changes which are not reflected in it yet or in a bit of PR blurb they have quoted a figure (the directory says 13 rooms for Airds the blurb says 11)

    Since the directory there have been 4 go from the southeast and 1 join, beds lost 106, 60, 144 and 112 and gained "128 stylish guestrooms, 16 exclusive Mews Suites". There have been a couple of other changes as well but unless they have taken on a 500 bed monster the answer is most likely to be 44

    They've got back to me saying the correct answer is definitely there so I guess we should opt for 44 as that's the closest
